Peterson’s Donuts (Escondido)

This is a food blog named mmm-yoyo!!!  Kirk usually writes here, but is preoccupied.  Ed(from Yuma) is also indisposed.  Cathy is writing a short Friday post.

When we are in Escondido (most recently at Pegah's, but we've been to other places, which have been (and will be, again) posted (eventually), we try to stop at Peterson's Donut Corner, which I have posted about one time and mentioned briefly in a donut compendium post, as well as in another compendium involving ham and cheese baked into bread.

There is a board with pricing just above the ordering windows; it's not all crazy expensive here.  Besides, walking along the side windows to see what's availableIMG_1484 IMG_1485 IMG_1490will probably make you not even think about price when ordering. IMG_1792This is the maple-bacon bar; it is $3.75, heavy and about 8 inches in length. One of the most expensive items here.
IMG_1495One order satisfied many cravings, with an orange frosted(with orange peel bits) cake donut($1.10), a chocolate cake donut topped with chocolate frosting and peanuts ($1.10) and a cherry filled fried tortilla/roll($2) IMG_1498When we returned recently, other cravings existed and  IMG_1803One dozen donut holes(raised are 15¢ each, cake are 30¢ each), along with a cinnamon roll (with raisins, $2.10; plain is $2) IMG_1807were our choices. The raisins are plentiful and in all of the rolled length of the roll. So good.

A long time (since 1942), local owned, old fashioned, classic donut shop.
